Compress a Video to Fit Any Limit
Reduce a video’s file size to fit email, WhatsApp or Discord. Pick where it’s going and we’ll squeeze it under that exact size — using your own device’s video chip.
Where is it going?
Fit Meter
Automatic picks the sharpest size the bitrate can carry.

Bytes of your files sent anywhere: 0 B · nothing leaves this tab
Every request this page makes is listed as it happens. You’ll see our own code loading, and for some formats a codec engine, but never your file going out.
- Waiting for network activity…
Check it yourself: open your browser’s developer tools on the Network tab, or turn off Wi-Fi once the page has loaded. The tools keep working.
How to use it
- 01
Add your files
Drop your video — straight off your phone is fine (MOV, MP4, HEVC…).
- 02
Check the settings
Pick the destination: Gmail 25 MB, WhatsApp 16 MB, Discord 20 MB… or type any size.
- 03
Save the result
We calculate the exact bitrate, encode it on your device’s hardware and check the result fits. If not, we automatically try again.
Why it doesn’t upload
Uploading a 400 MB video just to shrink it takes longer than the shrinking, and hands a stranger your personal footage. Here, your browser uses your own graphics chip — no upload bar, no waiting in a queue.
How to check for yourselfWorth knowing
- Squeezing long videos into small limits costs quality: 10 minutes into 16 MB will look soft. The Fit Meter shows the resolution we’ll use before you start.
- Speed depends on your device. Recent laptops and phones encode 1080p roughly in real time or faster.
- Formats like AVI, WMV and FLV use our FFmpeg engine (one-time 31 MB download) and are much slower.
- Output is always MP4 (H.264 + AAC) — the format every app accepts.
- Location and other metadata from your phone are not copied into the compressed video.
Questions
How do I send a video larger than 25 MB on Gmail?
Gmail’s attachment limit is 25 MB; bigger files get swapped for a Google Drive link. Pick Gmail above and we’ll compress the video to just under 25 MB so it attaches normally.
What’s the video size limit on WhatsApp?
Videos sent as media must be 16 MB or less. Bigger files can only go as a “Document” (up to 2 GB) without a preview. Choose WhatsApp to get under 16 MB.
Discord says my file is too large. What’s the limit now?
Since August 2026, free accounts can upload 20 MB per file, Nitro Basic 50 MB and Nitro 500 MB. Pick Discord and your plan.
Will compressing ruin the quality?
It depends on length. A 30-second clip into 25 MB stays at full HD. A 5-minute video into 16 MB drops to about 480p. We automatically choose the resolution that looks best for the size.
Why is this faster than other online compressors?
Nothing is uploaded or downloaded, and we use the hardware video encoder built into your device instead of a server queue.
Does it work with iPhone videos?
Yes — MOV and HEVC recordings from iPhones work, and the result is an MP4 that plays on Windows, Android and every messaging app.
